On Wednesday, Norris signed a new🎉 contract with McLaren to keep him at the Woking outfit until 2025.

Norris was one of F1’s star performers in 2021 wi൲th 🎶several podium finishes and a maiden pole position which secured him sixth in the drivers’ championship.

F1 has introduced entirely new technical r🃏egulations for this season with the pecking order comp🐻letely unknown.

Even if McLaren fails to deliver this year, Norris is confide🐓nt it will turn it around hence why committed his long-term future to the team.

“I knew there was a chance or an opportunity for other teams to make big steps forward and maybe we g✅o backwards but I don’t think that's something I am worried about,”  Norris said. 

“I am confident in the team that we can still have a good season this year and whatever happens this year doesn’t mean we will ෴be struggling for the next five, 10 years. I have belief even if we have a tougher year this year - I don’t think we will and I am confident we won’t - the next two years or three years when we get the wind tunnel up and running, we can make that progress we need and I am confident we can back towards the front, even more so than what I hoping for this year. 

“There are things here and there like there’s in every person’s contract but in terms of my commitment, it’s very high. I am v🐓ery confident I will be here for the next f🐼our years.”

Norris reiterated that there’s a “heavy commitment”🌠 from both sides.

“Of course in every contract there are various things but in terms of my one for the next four years, there’s a heavy commitment from my side to just commit to doing what I want to do and achieving stuff with the team,” he added.&n﷽bsp;

“In doing so and especially coming into this year, the logical thing or the thing a lot of people would think is to stay with my previous contract which would have ended the next year or whatever when we’re so ea🌠rly in this new era of ca𒀰rs and new regulations.”
